FFA TOUR DAYS

Beasley’s Orchard is pleased to welcome guests attending the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis! We would like to invite you to our “FFA Days at Beasley’s Orchard” on October 24, 25, and 26 from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily. On those 3 days, we are offering a suggested schedule with the following available options:

1. Meet a tour guide upon your arrival and learn about the many facets of this family owned and operated business.

2. Take a hayride around the orchard as your guide explains the different varieties of apples grown here, demonstrates the harvesting procedure used, stops at the pumpkin patch for each guest to pick a pie pumpkin, and explains the agri-tourism business at Beasley’s.

3. Tour the Civil War era barn which houses the apple processing equipment, the apple cider press, and the market.

4. Tour the cold storage area of Beasley’s

5. Join Operations Manager, Calvin Beasley, or Agritourism Manager, Jim Finley, in “The Loft” for freshly baked cookies and Beasley’s apple cider. The men can talk about their vision for the orchard and answer any questions you might have about being a young person in agriculture.

6. Have some fun with time spent in the Barnyard Bonanza. This activity area features a 75 foot long jumping pillow, 72 foot long ball zone with baseball, football, and basketball throwing areas, a spider web rope climber, cornhole games, tether ball, and teeter totters.

7. Accept the challenge of navigating our corn maze. Each guest receives a passport upon entering the maze. There are 10 multiple choice questions about FFA on the passport. Answer the question correctly, and you will be led in the right direction. Answer the question incorrectly, and you will be led in the wrong direction or even a dead end.

8. Try your skill at hitting a target with apple blasting cannons. Powered by compressed air, these cannons are sure to provide a challenge and fun for all.

9. A food truck will be on site for the 3 FFA days at Beasley's. Dizzy Izzy's features sandwiches, sides, and drinks. For freshly baked goods, caramel apples, and apple cider slushies, please visit the market inside the barn.

Each FFA guest will receive a wristband good for all of the activities listed above. Guides will be positioned at each station to assist your group and answer questions. The cost is $10 per person. With a group of 15 or more, 2 leaders are free.
